Django atomic transactions for data integrity

The atomic decorator/context manager ensures all-or-nothing database operations. I wrap related operations in @transaction.atomic or with transaction.atomic() blocks. If any operation fails, the entire transaction rolls back. This prevents partial data updates. I use savepoints for nested transactions. For long-running tasks, I keep transactions short to avoid lock contention. The on_commit hook runs code after successful commit. I'm careful with transactions in loops to prevent long-running locks. This is essential for maintaining data consistency.
